I’m taking a little break from silent horror movies to talk about one of my favorite horror movies that I got to see in theaters last night, Dario Argento’s Suspiria. It’s the story of meek American girl Suzy Banyon (played … Continue reading Scott OT #137: The Night Thread of Suspiria (10/14)
Tonight’s silent horror movie is Georges Melies’ horror short The Infernal Cauldron. It’s about a pair of green-skinned demons (one of whom is played by Melies himself) who throw people into a boiling cauldron and turn them into ghosts, I … Continue reading Scott #136: The Night Thread Is Thrown in the Infernal Cauldron (10/12)
My tribute to silent horror shorts this month continues with Georges Melies’ 1896 film, The Haunted Castle/The House of the Devil/The Devil’s Castle (it has many names). It’s a neat little film, considered by many to be the first horror … Continue reading Scott OT #135: The Night Threads Spends a Night in the Haunted Castle/the House of the Devil (10/6)
I’ve decided to focus all of my OTs this month (except for my traditional last Night Thread of the month) on silent horror shorts. Today’s horror short is J. Searle Dawley’s 1910 adaptation of Frankenstein. You all know the story … Continue reading Scott OT #134: The Day Thread Salutes the 1910 Frankenstein (10/5)
October 4th is the birthday of Buster Keaton, one of the greatest actors and directors in movie history. Since October is the time for horror movies, I decided to focus on one of his lesser known short films, 1921’s The … Continue reading Scott OT #133: The Night Thread Spends a Night in a Haunted House (10/4)

If all goes according to plan, I’ll be sitting in a theater watching the original Scream when this goes up. I love this movie so much, one of my favorite horror movies of the 90s. Hope you all have fun … Continue reading Scott OT #131: The Night Thread Is Screaming (9/28)
I’ll be working tonight and I’ll be missing The Good Place premiere when it airs, so please don’t spoil it for me. And if any of you do it spoil it for me, I’ll stab you with a rusty downvote. Hope … Continue reading Scott OT #130: The Day Thread Has an Important Message (9/27)
I’m currently hunting Eevees in Pokemon UltraSun, so I decided to make tonight’s Night Thread about the little fox things. The most fascinating thing about Eevee are its evolutions. Most Pokemon get two or three branches of evolutions (if any), … Continue reading Scott OT #129: Eevee Night Thread (9/26)
The 2010 Twilight rip-off The Last Vampire on Earth is one of the more breathtakingly dumb mockbusters of all time. The acting is terrible, the cinematography is horrid, and the script is a carbon copy of Twilight, except with even … Continue reading Scott OT #128: The Day Thread of The Last Vampire on Earth (9/25)
Hope you all have fun posting here tonight and have a great night. Continue reading Scott OT #127: The Night Thread is Groovy (9/23)
Donnie Darko is mostly known for its mindscrew elements, which unfortunately overshadows how painfully real the movie is at times. Many of the themes present in the movie (i.e. the illogical belief that the whole world is black and white, … Continue reading Scene Dissection: Donnie Darko – “Wacko for a Son” Scene
One of my very favorite movies is Donnie Darko and I got a chance to see it on the big screen yesterday. Watching it, I was reminded how mark Wahlberg was inexplicably sought out to play the titular character. Despite … Continue reading Scott OT #126: The Night Thread of How Mark Wahlberg was Almost Cast as Donnie Darko (9/16)
The Meg is doing very well at the box-office and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, it can’t compare to Shark Attack 3: Megalodon as the latter has this amazing scene: The Meg also lacks a scene where the lead charms … Continue reading Scott OT #125: The Day Thread of Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (9/10)
I watched The Craft in a theater last night and it’s a cinematic masterpiece. I hated it as a teenager and I was an idiot as a teenager. Hope you all have fun posting here today and have a great … Continue reading Scott OT #124: The Day Thread of The Craft (9/9)

Revenge directed by Coralie Fargeat, … Continue reading Scott OT #123: The Last Night Thread of the Month (8/31)
The two biggest names of the French New Wave were Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. They started out as film critics and eventually became two of the biggest directors ever. Godard was and still is the bigger name but I’ve … Continue reading Scott OT #122 The Night Thread is Behaving Like a Shit (8/29)

It’s been a few days and I’m still pissed over the James Gunn situation. Fuck Alan Horn and fuck Mike Cernovich. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!! Now, to be fair, those jokes from Gunn were edgy try hard bullshit. But A.) they were from … Continue reading Scott OT #120: The Day Thread is Angry (8/17)
One of the most curious periods in Hollywood history was the years preceding the implementation of the Hays Code, more commonly known as the Pre-Code Era. It featured content that, just a few years later, would be unthinkable to show … Continue reading Scott OT #119: The Night Thread Salutes Pre-Code Hollywood (8/14)
